It seems as though the writers of the New Testament are not attempting to identify and limit the psalms that prefigure Christ but rather are assuming that the (Psalms) as a whole has Jesus Christ in view and that this should be the normative way of interpreting the psalms.

SLIDE 8 Psalm 1–2
1:1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the
wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 1:2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. 1:3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 1:4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 1:5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
1:6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the
way of the wicked leads to destruction.

29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they

They are now his witnesses to our people. 32 We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.
